I've been a big fan of the Crosby If I Could Only Remember My Name album (remember the time Gans interviewed him on his radio show?) and sometimes think its even better than anything CSNY did because of its lethargically mellow psychedelic vibe and the all star SF crew that made the album with him, with Jerry, Phil, Mickey and Billy sitting in at various points. I'd guess that most here are familiar with that fine record, if you aren't, you should check it out.

I've become more of a Stills fan in the past few years, really digging Manassas (that live DVD from 1972 on German TV is SMOKING!) and his first two solo albums. https://youtu.be/iKmlcb4HSLM
And of course I've loved Neil's early stuff for decades. I never had Graham Nash solo stuff but Songs For Beginners is not too bad with Jerry and Phil both on it on a song or two.
Could've been a real nice album by CSNY if they took songs from their solo albums (and they all sat in on each other's solo albums anyways) and put 'em together that might've gone something like this although I could spend a lot of time rearranging it:
Music Is Love
Love The One You're With
Tell Me Why
Simple Man
Traction In The Raind
Better Days
Sit Yourself Down
After The Gold Rush
I Used To Be A King
Laughing
Man In The Mirror
Birds
What Are Their Names
We Are Not Helpless

Loved all them, but Young > Nash > Stills > Crosby in regards to solo...Songs Beg's was really nice, I always thought...but year, I always, ALWAYS lamented they didn't do more together. The later stuff, the poppish stuff of CSN, just didn't satisfy...OK, but far from their peak (meaning, what played on the radio in the mid/late 70s; that period was poor by comparison).

Did you ever see Humble Pie in '71 or '73? Seeing the great great Steve Marriott with the mighty Pie at their peak (I prefer them just after Frampton departed when they were straight up boogie rock with no pretty songs in sight) would be one of my time-machine shows along with Led Zeppelin in 1970, Stones in '72, The Who in '70, Dead in '72 for the top five, off the top of my head.

p.s. And I still see lots of concerts, and many are as good as any I've ever seen. Live music is a treasure.

I've been on the other side of it, too. I have had rock fans younger than me be amazed when they find out I saw Stevie Ray Vaughan nine times before he died. For me, he was the greatest rock guitarist of those that I've seen live in their prime. But the more time passes, the more I realize I missed the true golden era of rock. Thank God for the live recordings!

I am heartened to see that there are also 19 year olds that love 60s and 70s music, and to see modern bands that are more in the mold of rock acts of the old days.
p.s. Stevie Ray Vaughn and his brother Jimmie lived literally just around the corner from me when I was growing up. But they were a couple of years older than me (2 and 5 years) and when you're a kid, even 2 years is a BIG difference in age. But I did get to see Stevie play many times and several times in Dallas in small clubs before he made it big. Even way back then you knew you were seeing someone really special.

I would leave the Neil stuff off, "Goldrush is such good record, and Neil wrote some much stuff then, he could pull out a couple more on request . Anyway this is a little odd, iff fun .
